Composition
The Supplementary Reserve totaled approximately 47,000 personnel in 1995. It had been reduced to 23,600 members as of 1 April 2009, some of whom were unable to be contacted due to outdated contact information. In an effort to meet the VCDS intent for a more operationally focused Supp Res, members who did not reply to Supp Res request(s) for written correspondence within the given timeframe (minimum 30 days) or for whom a return to sender letter is received from Canada Post were released. This release was recorded as 5(c) – Service completed for which required QR&O, Vol 1, Ch 15.01. The goal was to strengthen the Supp Res and to provide a true representation to the Canadian Forces of potentially available members for future employment.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
